Loved worldwide for their superb fit, unsurpassable comfort and rich colours; our short-sleeved men’s polo shirts are one of our most popular garments year-round.

Made from John Smedley’s super-soft Sea Island Cotton, our short-sleeve men’s polo shirts are a tried and trusted wardrobe staple. Wear them on their own or pick a contrasting or complementary shade to pair with a suit for a unique twist on a classic look.

As with all John Smedley garments, our skilled designers are always looking for innovative ways to reimagine classic silhouettes. In the case of our polo shirts, we have created two distinctive collar styles. Forming a part of our icons collection, our classic three-button polo shirt, Adrian, features a stand collar which ensures, wear-after-wear and wash-after-wash, that it always sits perfectly around your neck. Fans of this style include “Sherlock” and “The Hobbit” star, Martin Freeman. Our button-less Skipper collar offers a more casual approach to the polo neck with a less structured collar and a shallow V-neck; effortlessly bridging the gap between smart and casual.

All our polo shirts are designed and manufactured in Britain in our beautiful, original, factory in Lea Mills, Derbyshire. We’ve been creating knitted clothing there since 1784 and continue to do so to this very day.

Over the years, we’ve honed our craftsmanship to bring you items of the very highest quality. Make a John Smedley polo shirt a staple of your wardrobe today.
